Christmas Deco Mesh Wreath Tutorial

I know that these wreaths are not new, but this is the first time I have attempted to make one.

I was so tired at looking at our old wreath that we had used for years.

Sooo, I did what anyone would do. I went to Hobby Lobby to pick up some red deco mesh and some glittery ornaments!1. I stripped the old wreath of all the stuff on it.2. Next, I rolled out a bunch of the deco mesh and then bunched up one end and twisted it secure with a branch of the wreath.3. Then you "pouf" up the deco mesh and secure the next part with a branch of the wreath. You continue to do this all the way around the wreath.

4. I fired up my hot glue gun and glued the glittery ornaments on the wreath. I also had some red glittery sticks with balls on them and some decorative leaves that I glued into it as well.

5. I could have stopped there, but then I decided to use some small green glass ornaments that I had. I also added another set of deco mesh "poufs" sort of in the back/top of the wreath.

So, what do you think? Do you like the way it turned out? Have you ever made a deco mesh wreath?

Thanks for this. I've been looking for the wire wreath to make one with the deco mesh. I didn't realize you could make one with this type of wreath. Hobby Lobby and Michaels have been out of the wire wreaths for a while. I already had the deco mesh. So now I can make mine! Thanks again.
